WASHINGTON (AP) — Calls mounted Thursday for an investigation into the ouster of a senior government scientist who says he's being punished for opposing widespread use of an unproven drug President Donald Trump touted as a remedy for COVID-19.
Rick Bright, former director of the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, says he was summarily removed from his job earlier this week and reassigned to a lesser role because he resisted political pressure to allow widespread use of hydroxychloroquine, a malaria drug favored by Trump.
On Thursday, House Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Frank Pallone, D-N.J., joined in calling for an investigation by the Health and Human Services inspector general.
"Removing Dr. Bright in the midst of a pandemic would raise serious concerns under any circumstances, but his allegations that political considerations influenced this decision heighten those concerns and demand full accountability,” Pallone said. The inspector general's office had no immediate response.
Bright is seeking to be reinstated as head of the research agency, said his lawyers Debra Katz and Lisa Banks. A performance review shows he received a top rating.

Looking forward to the investigation
Poitico reporter Dan Diamond within 24 hours found that this bureaucrat was rumored for removal last year because he is an incompetent insubordinate jackass.
The kind of federal employee it is impossible to fire, so they get transferred, like this guy

Trump never heard of the guy. Neither did anyone else in the room.
This ‘expert’ was placed in his job by Obama on November 16, 2016 - a week AFTER he knew Trump would be the next president.
Those types of personnel moves need to be ILLEGAL.
“President Donald Trump touted as a remedy for COVID-19.”
Trump has never, and I hope won’t ever, openly say a drug being tested is a remedy for anything. That is a lie established by the media to be used by the socialists.

Yes........... Soros included.
